Salt Lake City is a top hiking town, says National Geographic

by Nate Carlisle, The Salt Lake Tribune

Walked up City Creek Canyon lately? How about a mosey up Emigration Canyon or putting your boots onto a trail in Big or Little Cottonwood canyons?

If so, you're enjoying the trails in what the website for National Geographic says is one of the best U.S. cities for hiking.

National Geographic singled out Salt Lake City on its list, saying Utah's capitol "may very well be the easiest major American city to get out of, which is why it attracts a large population of outdoor-minded folk."
